I asked if he wasn't worried about massive die back because, without petrochemcial assistance, modern farming would collapse.
His basic response was that if climate change made growing conditions impossible for farming, then it didn't matter if it was a factory farm or locall-based organic agriculture, we were still screwed.
I don't think he really addressed the issue very well.
